Answer:

They assess the situation differently.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress does not affect all people in the same way. The same stressful event can cause different reactions within the same group.

Each person has individual characteristics that modulate or moderate the stressors they face in everyday life. These characteristics will determine how stress affects the state of health of each one. Some of the characteristics that act as differentiators in the face of these stressful events are: personality type, control over the situation, anxiety or neuroticism, tolerance for ambiguity and having a resistant personality.

Therefore, people evaluate the situation differently and their responses will be different in the face of the same stressor.
